iPod/iPhone firmware update 1.1.4 released
Just connected my iPhone to iTunes. More details as they come in.
1:30: I'm downloading the software now... To download directly, the direct links are iPhone and iPod. (Do let me know if I messed either of those up.)
I've decided that my wee little iPod touch will be the update fodder this time--remember last time all the trouble I ended up with when I basically fried my iPhone when going back to 1.1.1 after testing 1.1.3? The things I do for TUAW!
Help requested If any of you are in ADC, please see whether the SDK is available? Thanks!!
Reader asks: "What will 1.1.4 change? Will it be unlocked/jailbroken, etc." Do NOT upgrade if you have unlocked until the devs have time to figure out the landscape. Jailbreak pretty much always goes away. So again, if you like your jb'ed iPhone or iPod, DO NOT upgrade yet.
All of you who are reporting in that the upgrade went fine and there are no big changes you can see are obviously working with much better Internet connections than I have. I wait.
Release notes; "Bug Fixes". As "FunkeeMonk" writes: "wow, such a descriptive release". If you're on a jailbroken phone (or actually formerly jailbroken phone) and notice a big speed bump, like as not that's because all the junk you've installed over time got cleaned up by the fresh install.
It's times like this when I just hate Mindspring, my ISP. 40 MB of 165.5 MB.
ZIPHONE WORKS!!!!! Nate True has reporetdly tried out ZiPhone on 1.1.4 and IT WORKS. Looking for secondary confirmation now.
Exchange Support! -- Looks like IMAP stuff, nothing Exchange-specific.

124.5 of 165.5 MB.
Download has FINISHED. My computer is now recognizing my keystrokes without a 2 second delay (yay) and I'm installing...
Unknown error occurred 6. iPhuc to the rescue. I'm booted in.
TUAW reader Dave Taylor writes: "Plugins are enabled on Safari Settings, this is new I think? " Readers say: not new.
Okay, I'm in, I'm jailbroken, I'm under 1.1.4 Let me know what you specifically want to see under the hood. I'll be looking mostly at frameworks.
No changes in the number of frameworks. Pretty much all the frameworks look like the exact same releases as 1.1.3--same number of bytes. UIKit has changed: 2687236 vs 2687140. I have to take a break, eat, visit the little girls' room, etc. Later all.

The "dev team" isn't the only place to look for a new jailbreak for 1.1.4. Zibri's "ziphone" 1.1.3 jailbreak was technically superior to the "dev team's" "official" 1.1.3 jailbreak, IMNSHO. I will be waiting to see what Zibri does for 1.1.4 before I update, and I recommend you do, too.

Except that Zibri's "ziphone" 1.1.3 jailbreak only works on 8 gig iPod Touches and iPhones...

ZiPhone created problems with my phone where it was incredibly hard to put it into DFU mode with the iPhone itself. Needed to use iPhuc.

Please explain the technically superior bit, I haven't heard anything about this.

Wouldn't the SDK require an iTunes update as well?

There was an update like 2 days ago for iTunes.

Good point, Tom.
Wouldn't SDK push iPhone firmware version to 1.2?

I just upgraded, but I can't see any difference. I wonder if it has to do with the starbucks training... Maybe we can use ATT hotstops for free now?

Exchange support? I know it's a longshot, but any possibility of Exchange support out there?

kevin said 1:59PM on 2-26-2008
there is now exchange support.

What do you mean exactly. It's always had Exchange via IMAP, but do you mean Activesync/ActivePush - anything using WebDav protocol?
Corey said 1:56PM on 2-26-2008
I think it def will mess up the jailbreak, seriously when was the last time a upgrade didnt mess jailbreak up? NEVER! and i dont think the starbucks iphone ordering was anything official ever, that was just a "protoype" someone designed and thought it would be cool, which it would be! i hope we get flash soon!

wait - you mean you can update your iphone simply by clicking the link in safari?

Does it fix the "on-the-go" playlist syncing, perhaps adding a "save" option to on the go play lists like the ipod classic/4g/5g had? Currently whenever I sync my on the go list is lost, doesn't appear in itunes and is empty on itouch after sync. If they fixed this I wonder if they'll fix the leopard graphics update that causes DVD player on my G4 to hang the entire machine! No, not fixing slightly older hardware problems you introduced in "stability" updates ey apple! grrrrr.. worst Q/A dept in the world!
